Interesting to read that. I don't remember any learning barrier for OpenSCAD, while FreeCAD and Rhino3D took many days before I had to put it down. I guess people differ...

Is it online only? I in general prefer locally installed software, without Internet requirements.

I think the interesting progress in programs can generally be achieved for many programs, which take input and produce output and then terminate. For servers, which wait for requests, the situation seem to be different.

Saw something like that once, couldn't find recently, sorry. Ask Peter?..

Peter Norvig once proposed to consider a really large grammar, with trillion rules, which could simulate some practically small applications of more complex systems. Many programs in practice don't need to be written in Turing-complete

It's a bad reason. A lot of best practices are temporary blindnesses, comparable, in some sense, with supposed love to BASIC before or despite Dijkstra. So, yes, it's possible there is no good reason. Though I don't think it&

APL was pretty popular some 40 years ago among some people who didn't consider themselves programmers. An Excel of the time?

AFAIK APL was used to verify the design of IBM 360, finding some flaws. I wrote my first parser generator in J. I think these both contradict your opinion. I think Iverson had a good idea growing language from math notation. Math operations

Not only in best case. Haven't seen this elsewhere, and know only few people who know that, so, a kind of a puzzle: what are the conditions when bubblesort is always O(n)?

Agree. I remember the names of many of these algorithms, but not the logic.

I wonder how many places we have in modern math symbols which we use for historical reasons, rather than because it's most convenient overall. I guess we are balancing things here.

They are one time inflated, become rigid afterwards to withstand meteoroids, I think.

Starship tanks likely hold several bars of pressure and survive transportation to orbit...

> This is not a real choice made by citizens This is something which courts should consider more about other things, such as EULA and Terms and Conditions. Same reasons.

Do we have specific numbers how much water costs and why? In a new place?

What are the perspective of suing here?

by avmich 11mo ago
Maybe it's because rights should be "government CAN do X to you", and whatever isn't listed in rules government CANNOT do?

Can you provide your logic for this conclusion?

Do you know about Northrop Grumman Lunar Landing Challenge and Delta Clipper?

Do you know about XCOR and Andrew Beal?

Fortunately, a lot of problems are embarassingly parallel.

Great conversation. Mentioning Hughes, Chinese advances, pretty good.

> The difference is that with Apple silicon, Apple owns and controls the primary technologies behind the products it makes, as Tim Cook has always wanted. But did customers want it? I'll leave it here, as the point is made.

Adding a different web page-resident language?

Could this be an indicator of a more widespread practice? Or is it likely that Intel is unique here?

Space elevator is not something which stands on the ground and grows up. It is something which lives on geostationary orbit and grows down from it to the Earth. If you cut the lower 1 meter of it, the rest will hang... ...that is, until a s

It would be interesting to hear your comparison to counterarguments to this. Can you explain why these arguments are more important?

Both job and sex are rather common and desired, so some comparison can be made.
